Sean Feucht is no fan of the John MacArthur cessationist conference:

Just because you haven’t seen God heal the sick, raise the dead or cast out devils in your cold dead American church doesn’t mean He’s not doing this ALL OVER THE WORLD TODAY.

— Sean Feucht (@seanfeucht) October 4, 2023

Instead of believing the words Jesus said:

“Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”

You can instead pay $299 to hear “biblical scholars” warn you against doing any of these things.

Only in America 🤡🤣 pic.twitter.com/6lH0YBBXXm
